Alien Trilogy from Acclaim
STORY
In the not-too distant future, successful space colonization has become
routine. The quaint concept of nations is a remote memory. The one
organization to witch all humans belong is the Company. All material needs are
created and met by the Company. All human activity is subordinated to it. Even
the armed forces are privatized, sworn to uphold the interests of the Company.
By and large, humanity has survived intact throughout this era of
interplantery conquest. But now a host of parasitic alien seeds threaten the
very existence of the human race. The Company wants to keep the deadly spawn
alive and use as a secret weapon. Can the vicious aliens be destroyed? Or will
the Queen of Queens succeed in laying another savage generation in the guts of
hapless plantary populations? The task of saving humanity comes down to...
you.
You're Lt. Ripley. You're a million miles from home. Your fellow marines have
just been wiped out in an alien ambush. Now the planet colony on LV426 is
threatened by the egg laying aliens - and the Queen. You could use all the
help the Company can muster... too bad they're working against you! As Ripley,
you'll soon be cursing the day you ever heard of the Company! But for now,
you've got to concentrate... watch every movement... listen to every sound...
if you can hear above your pounding heart! Steady, Lt. Ripley... just take it
one... [insert sound wave gfx here] ...your're... on your own...
